Adventure for mind and body: Testing their
skills, white-water runners shoot rapids on the
Snake River in Wyoming (above). Share the inti
macy of the wilds as canoeists portage and paddle
through Still Waters, White Waters, our first
Special Publication for 1977-78.
The saga of medicinal plants fills the annals of
pharmacy and folk medicine-from the opium
poppy of Turkey (left), capable of both good and
evil, to the ginseng of Appalachia, hailed as a cure
all. Nature's Healing Arts, second book in this
series, reveals how modern science looks to the
natural world for many beneficial drugs.
Splendor of an ancient civilization rises from
the tangled forest at Tikal (below), a major city
during Middle America's golden age. A descendant
of the temple builders (below, left) preserves the
rituals of The Mysterious Maya.
